Security secondary glazing is a separate slim window fitted on the room side of an existing window, glazed with laminated glass so it forms a second barrier. It leaves the original window untouched outside, which makes it a common choice for listed buildings, conservation areas and period sash windows.

- Laminated glass in slim aluminium frames

- Colour-matched frames to suit the room
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched

- Period sash windows with original glass
- Homes on busy roads wanting noise reduction
- Ground-floor flats in converted townhouses
- Listed homes and buildings in conservation areas
Questions we will ask at the survey
How it opens
Match the opening style to the original window so both can be opened, cleaned and used for ventilation.
Frame colour and sightlines
Slim frames that line up with the existing meeting rails make the secondary glazing almost invisible from outside.
Building regulations and safety in Wales
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.

Security secondary glazing in Pontypool: questions
Can you survey in Pontypool and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Pontypool, Cwmbran and Risca are booked around installer availability.
Is secondary glazing safe for escape windows?
It can be, as long as it opens quickly from inside without a key. We design catches and handles for that.
Does secondary glazing reduce noise?
Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
Will secondary glazing cause condensation?
A well-fitted unit usually reduces condensation on the inner pane. Some ventilation of the gap may be needed, which we discuss at the survey.
